title: Chromosome segregation: not to put too fine a point (centromere) on it.
abstract: Localization of the histone H3 variant Cse4 (CENP-A) at the ~125 base pair point centromere in budding yeast directs assembly of a kinetochore that binds one microtubule. Recent work suggests there is more Cse4 at point centromeres than originally thought.
